Our neighbor's vineyard suddenly sprouted a large herd of rental sheep, happily munching on the luxuriant grasses that have popped up since the rain started this month. They eat fast. The shepherd moves the temporary fence from one section to another, then his three dogs move the sheep. The resident crows seem entranced. If you look closely you'll see that the Chardonnay buds have already opened, so the next crew in will be pruners.
